CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K

GPU: MSI GTX 780

PSU: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold

Motherboard: Asus Z87-K

DVD Reader: LiteOn x18 SATA 5.25”

Case: Corsair Carbide 300R Mid Tower

I only need the fans now and the other parts like a HDD i already have but with the fans, that case supports 6 120mm and 1 140mm but how many fans do I actually need?

I'd add another 120 or 140mm fan on a side vent as intake, blowing over your video card: And 120 or 140mm fan on top vents as another exhaust fan.
You cannot achieve positive/negative pressure as the case has multiple openings where there will be no hardware and are not for fans.
The above setup will give you really nice intake and airflow out of the case.
